Austin Hi,

Thanks for that.
Actually my yard does have a slight slope which results into the oil reading
being different when the car is pointing upwards or downwards (towards the
sea)

Take care
Pantelis

Richard Hi,

have not checked the air filter but there is no soapy water anywhere around
the engine or inside the oil or inside the expansion tank.
No increase in operating temperature even nowdays with the extreme heatwave
that is making us suffer here in Greece (43 in the shade today) even with
the vehicle under load.

no loss of performance (a funny word to use with a 2.800 kg heavy ironclad
Camel 200Tdi) and fuel consumption remains steady at 11.78 to 12.5 lt/100
Km.

But will check the air filter and the oil separator to be on the safe side.
I noticed today, after posting my previous message, that the ticking noise
develops when the engine gets to the normal operating temperature.
Also had the alternator belt snapping today in the morning. a pair of 13
and 10 mm spanners and 15 minutes later everything was OK.

Thanks again
Pantelis

Ah. I meant apply some soapy water to the joint and see if it bubbles!

That would be consistent with head gasket, but not a certainty by
any means.

My speedo in the SIII has developed a more impressive than normal optimism.
it's over-reading by about 20%. Mile-counting appears to be correct. Oddly,
after driving some distance (20-odd miles), it seemed to read more credibly
again, but this morning is was back to the optimism.

Did the ticking go with the alternator belt?

If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get what you
asked for not what you wanted!

Do not say it cannot be done, rather what is needed for it to be done!

My van does that with the odometer - journeys are a good 10% shorter in
the van than in the car! I don't know about the speedo tho, but I keep
plenty of margin when passing speed cameras just in case. I think the
'wrong' rear axle (i.e. diff) was put on when it was changed.

Richard thanks,

I will try the soapy water trick and let's hope that it will not be a
headgasket problem (engine only has 87.000 Kms on the clock)

Take care

Geoff Hi,

I believe that the ticking went when the car is cold but is still there when
it gets warm.
On the other hand I can not say for sure that this was not the case before
the belt snapped.
I also thought about this possibility but can not find a way to be
absolutely sure about it.

Take care
Pantelis

I just thoufght it was maybe the belt itself making the noise as it's
terminal death rattle?

asked for not what you wanted!

Do not say it cannot be done, rather what is needed for it to be done!

Geoff Hi again,

unfortunately the ticking sound continues even after replacing the snapped
alternator belt.

Take care

Derek Hi,

this is the first time I hear about that but it does make sense.
Will have a look at it and will advise accordingly.

Thanks for the suggestion

Take care
Pantelis
